A little bit of support this week for me.

Is there anyone available who knows how to close a team account? This has been requested at https://gratipay.freshdesk.com/helpdesk/tickets/2750 (login required).

[chadwhitacre]

Support 8, mostly waiting on solutions that I can't provide.

Documentation is darn good for getting Gratipay up and running--even I was able to do it on my local machine in less than an hour! Nice job, folks!

Now I can mess with things locally and maybe teach myself some Python in the process. This is exciting.

[chadwhitacre]

!m @mattbk Nice! 💃

We haven't communicated properly the extent to which Gratipay 2.0 is a from-scratch reboot. We have not been pooling up money since the Gratipocalypse, as many seem to think.

I've modified the "Update" on "Gratipocalypse" from:

We have returned to processing.

to:

We have relaunched as Gratipay 2.0.

And I've modified the opening paragraph of "Gratipay 2.0" thusly:

Last month, we warned that “it will be hard” for us to survive the demise of our vendor and close partner, Balanced Payments. Then we discovered that it “couldn’t be harder”: we had to stop processing paymentswent out of business, due to legal concerns with our old terms of service that came to light while migrating away from Balanced. Today, we’re pleased to announce that we have resumed processing paymentsrelaunched under new terms of service.

[chadwhitacre]

I also changed "reopen" to "relaunch" in the second paragraph of "Off Balanced".

Email (what?)

[chadwhitacre]

The bounce rate spike is due to security research. Not sure about the complaint rate ...

[chadwhitacre]

Looks like it was a single spam report, related (again) to security research.
